Silver Thule 532 Freeride Bicycle Carrier Review

Thule installed both trunks in about 30 minutes. But for 3 hours I suffered with the dismantling of the old cheap ones. The fastening nuts were rusted tightly, I was already thinking of cutting it off with a grinder. But the benefit is soaked in a bucket. At one guide that holds the bike, the bolt rotted off, fell off. I do not advise saving, take normal trunks right away. The consequences can be much more expensive.

I skated with a trunk all summer, the bike on 29 wheels of size "L" got up without problems, the first time it was scary for the bike, but the next time you even forget about the bike, you rode and 130 km / h nothing fell off and did not whistle (crossbars of the aerodynamic profile ). If you have the skill, the bike is installed on the roof in 2-3 minutes

The device is much simpler than it seems from the instructions. How to deal with everything - everything is simple, convenient, reliable. Do not tighten the latches too much - it is harder to open them than to close them. If the car is tall, you need a ladder to put the bike on the roof.

50% reliability is still there. I'll start from the beginning. The bike itself is pretty good. Probably one of the best deals on the market today. But there is one significant drawback that can ruin everything. This is the guide mount. Bought 2 bike racks. 1 bike rack reached the destination. At one fastening, the riveting was cut off on the way (see photo). Replaced with a bolt. Arrived okay. Upon arrival, changed all the rivets. Maybe it was just luck that nothing was scratched or broken…

The bike rack turned out to be really reliable. Forgetting that there are 2 bicycles on the roof of the car, we cheerfully drove into the underground parking. There was a crunch. We immediately remembered bicycles. To our surprise, neither they nor the trunk were damaged. The car was in the garage, and the bikes, attached to the bars with Thule bike racks, sat quietly on the road in front of the garage. Dougie was blown off the rails, and the bikes were still strapped in.

Got pros: Not difficult to emble, reliable design, the presence of locks. Its cons: There is a stock on the base for the rear wheel, and in front

"Whistling" of course at speed, but without it, as in my opinion, because there are small elements, such as a wheel fastening belt. Got pros: Excellent, strong mount, the bike holds very well. Easy convenient installation. Take it, you won't regret it. Its cons: The instruction is not clear for the first time I watched the installation video, everything turned out to be as easy as shelling pears.

The mount perfectly withstood a trip with a bicycle on the roof to the Crimea and back. Moreover, a third of the way there and back was blowing a strong side wind.

In my opinion, this is one of the best bike racks on the roof in terms of price-quality ratio. It fit without modifications to the original luggage racks from GM on the Astra J car. Installing and removing the bike takes literally 3-5 minutes, provided that the bike is properly fixed when the car is moving, it does not sway, it is held securely.

I buy not the first time. The number of bindings increases with the number of bikes. The only inconvenience is a large number of keys. It is a pity that you can not choose the key number when buying.

Price quality is a good option. I put the APS on the perekladiey, everything fits perfectly. For a crossbar without a profile slot, there is a fastening through a bracket

There are two such mounts on the car, I drive bikes with 29 and 27.5 "wheels, everything is holding up perfectly, it doesn’t hang out, I don’t accelerate more than 130 km / h with bicycles along the highway.

Bought two fasteners. One bike with a 20" frame and the other 22" with 29 wheels. Everything fell into place as it should. Immediately experienced in a trip of 1000 km one way. All the way no problem. The hum appears small after 100 km / h. I drove somewhere 100-110, didn't risk it anymore, everything went great! I recommend to buy.

I've been using this mount for two seasons now. Mostly in the city. There is a successful experience of transporting a bicycle over a distance of 1000 km on very bad roads: Leningrad - Hong Kong. I use on Lada Vesta SW. The rear bracket, so as not to lose during storage, fixed with a tie to the mount. Worth the money, I recommend.

I use it in conjunction with the Thule "WingBar Edge" trunk, it is fastened tightly - you can't tear it out with a tug. I see no reason to overpay for proride, outride and other models.

At first they carried bicycles in a semi-disassembled form in the trunk of a crossover. But peeped at friends this model. Many people use it. Everyone is happy.

I looked at a bunch of reviews, there is of course a more advanced model 591, but the price is much more expensive. We chose 532, the price - the quality is on top.

Accelerated with a bike on the roof up to 130 km / h (restriction according to the passport of the device) - the bike is perfectly fixed

Got pros: Not difficult to install, good quality, stood up like a native on the arcs of Turtle Air 1 on Tiguan 1 restyling 2022gv. Got cons: Price, especially now (June 2022) - I took 2 pieces. It's a bit tricky to snap off the mount, especially if you have a crossover, you are not tall and you have to use a small stool :D

I rode with bikes on the roof to Hong Kong from Msk. At a speed of more than 110, it’s hard with bikes on the roof, it starts to storm, and so everything is top. But it's all . I have a wife with a great on the roof went to the garage. And there, at the entrance, there was a pipe from above, so that all sorts of gazelles would not go, well, in general, she forgot about it and with a bicycle right on the pipe, there were two mounts, one was large. So the whole structure, flying off the roof from
